Is Senior worth a punt : Tue Jul 26, 2011 5:10 pm  

There are various messages suggesting that Senior was suprised to say the least at todays announcement and is looking to get out of his 2012 Crusaders contract.

Does anyone else out there think that it would be worth taking a chance on him for a 1yr deal?

Nope, not interested at all, prefer to use what we have got

I would HATE to see him in a Cas shirt. He's old, slow and a thug.

With Arundal and Thompson impressing, I'd hate us to put a 35 year old thug in the way of their development.

No chance, he doesn't deserve to wear a Cas shirt

Can I just remind you of Paul Newlove taken on a 1 year punt? Need I say more?

He is still a big strong unit so I was thinking 2nd row, but fair comment, added to which I guess his current injury status would always be a risk !!!

I could see him ending up at Wakey, I seem to recall him playing under Kear at Sheffield. Kear could perhaps use him to bring some of their youngsters through.

Yup. That's when my opinion of him was formed. 1998 Cup QF Cas v Sheffield when he flattened Mather, the ref (Connolly I think) let him stay on and he went on to score the two tries that sank us that day.

For me, never in a Cas shirt. Ever.

no way, he's a thug, and has been going down hill for the last few years.

Couldnt have happened to a more deserving guy.
